Program Overview

International Foundation Year in Business, Social Sciences and Humanities
The International Foundation Year in Business, Social Sciences and Humanities will prepare you for your undergraduate degree in the humanities and social sciences at Sheffield. The Faculty of Social Sciences includes the Management School, the School of Law and Sheffield School of Architecture.

What will you study?
This is a 1.5 or 2-semester programme that has been developed in collaboration with the University, so modules are relevant to your field of study. Core modules are studied by everyone on  this programme and will develop the English and academic skills you need for your degree. The pathway modules you study will depend on your chosen progression degree at the University.

Once you complete your International Foundation Year in Business, Social Sciences and Humanities and achieve the required grades, you can enter your undergraduate degree at the University of Sheffield.

Leading to: Politics BA (Hons)

We are more engaged with politics now than ever before. People are participating in protests about climate change and LGBTQ+ rights, more young people are having their voices heard and are voting in elections, and the public are questioning and debating some of the most controversial theories about free speech, gender and migration.

As a BA Politics student, you’ll take a critical look at what is happening in the UK, EU and other  political systems in different parts of the world. You will use case studies and theories to develop and demonstrate your views and explain what can be done to address some of the big issues affecting society today.

You’ll be learning from academics whose research has helped shape policy on a range of topics such as:

  • Regulation of digital campaigning,
  • Food poverty
  • Tax justice
  • Climate change
  • Access to democratic education

This research is what shapes the modules we teach, and with a large variety of optional modules to choose from, you can tailor your degree to your particular areas of interest and research the topics that you think are really important. You will also have core modules each year that are designed to give you a solid foundation in the theories, methods and analytical skills that you’ll apply to your studies.
